Moshe's Falafel, a yellow cart on W. 46th St., just east of 6th Avenue, is outstanding. Go sit in the park across the street to eat it b/c it's very messy. But it's delicious. If you're not sure about the hot sauce, ask for it on the side, b/c it can be very hot.

Also, I'm a native NY'er and have eaten dirty water hot dogs all my life and have never gotten sick. I love them. Sabrett's, the ones with the blue and yellow umbrellas, are the best, and they are everywhere.

I'd be wary of the souvlaki stands that sell beef and chicken.

I go to Potato King on 39th & Broadway. He sells huge baked potatoes, with tons of toppings, for about $4.00

IIRC, he only operates the cart in cold weather.

The $1.00 cart in Chinatown.

The $1 cart on Mosco Street was chased by the cops.

In NYC yesterday for a quick trip.

Made a point of hitting a Rafiqi Halal Cart (this one on 8th and Broadway) for a great chicken and rice platter. $4.25 for a good meal.

The vendor mentioned that Rafiqi now has 18 carts scattered around NYC. I'm hoping to find all of them and do a google mashup. Post here if you know where they are...

Thanks, gb

I passed one yesterday on 6th Avenue around 10th Street, give or take a few street blocks. I will keep an eye out for others..

But really, that food is nothing special aside from its low price, in my opinion..
